  One of the best guided fishing trips ever!

  4 Hour Trip on April 25, 2026 • 2 adults

  I’ve been on a lot of guided fishing trips, but this is one of the best! Our trip was supposed to start at 7 AM, so my son and I showed up a little early and Captain McDonald was already there ready to go. After about 10 minutes boating (awesome boat BTW) to our first fishing spot, we cast the first line and BAM, landed our first keeper Spec! First cast! we ended up limiting out on specs in the first couple hours and moved to Black Drum. Ended up limiting out on Black Drum as well and caught a lot of different fish in between. Bottom line, we had a great time, a blast fishing, great conversation and Captain McDonald was awesome!

  Great times!!!

  4 Hour Trip on July 29, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  Captain Josh worked hard for us today and kept us on the fish. He knew after the first few casts if we were going to be productive, if not he would get us to another spot quickly and get us fishing again. Josh was very helpful with my 7 year old grandson and had everything he needed for a youngster his age. He helped us make some wonderful memories today. I highly recommend using Josh at Saltwater Revival Guide Services, I know we will use him again on our next trip. Thanks Josh!

  solid trip

  Afternoon (3hr) on September 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  The captain made this trip fun and fishy. Joshua's experience showed through his ability to get us to the honey hole and get us home safely in what turned into some challenging weather. Boat was obviously well maintained and capable. Thank you for the great outing - see you next time!

  So Much Fun!

  5 Hour Trip — Morning on July 10, 2026 • 4 adults

  Fishing was tough but Captain Josh worked hard for our catch. He was patient and informative with my daughters since it was their first time on a boat. The best thing that made him stand out was when some strong storms came in, he didn’t call it quits and run back to the dock like all the other boats’ captains did. He avoided the storms and waited them out. And when it was over, we continued fishing. I will definitly book him again next summer!

  LIMITED OUT

  5 Hour Trip — Morning on February 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  f you’re looking for a top-tier saltwater fishing experience, Saltwater Revival with Captain Joshua is it. From start to finish, this trip was dialed in. Captain Joshua knows these waters inside and out and put us right on the fish. We limited out on drum and redfish, and it wasn’t luck — it was pure skill, strategy, and experience. Captain Joshua was patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, explaining what we were doing and why, while keeping the energy fun and relaxed the entire time. The boat was clean, the gear was solid, and the action was nonstop. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time fishing saltwater, he makes sure everyone has a great time and lands fish. If you want a guide who works hard, knows his fish, and genuinely cares about giving you an unforgettable day on the water, book with Saltwater Revival. We’ll 100% be back. Highly recommend Captain Joshua — this is how a fishing trip should be done. 🎣👏
